I got my account approved today.

Wow! Seriously guy, I am so happy because I have tried this a year ago but wasn't successful. I was almost frustrated. I had to negotiate with middlemen who open account for a token. I got for two thousand but couldn't proceed because of lack of finance.

I stumble upon this thread and got the info for free!!!

So today, I decided to "play" with upwork.

Guess what? I was approved in less than a second.

"Dancing"

To venzalvenzal, Thanks for the info, God bless you. it means a lot to me. I am happy


The issue now is that I want fly the account to private mode, I don't have means of identification should I land a task on Upwork. Every of my identification is at school

How do I go about it?

Welcome to the family. Congrat!

@Venzal/Mhizausta

Virgo01:
Big congratulations man. That's the way to go.

I'm going to tidy up my account and start sending proposals too.

Is the job in the copywriting niche? Or just writing generally?

Copywriting

SuleimanKano:
Big Congratulations brother.

Thanks

Got my first ever job on Upwork, $40

This is surely a starting point. I'm happy

Thanks Venzal, cutezt, Meklex

Chuksmonika:
what other word do you suggest in replacement of 'i' ?

Any other word that qualify the clients mumu botton and make them feel valued...Don't use 'I' or "Me"


I talk my own oo

shotanny:
Good afternoon bro, I was the one that pmed you...
Please I am having issues with getting orders, I have opened a fiverr account for some weeks now but no orders yet...I also send offers on buyer's request...but still no orders...pls can you give me tips on what to do.

Stop!

When you read this to the end, you'll have make it happen and you start getting orders like CRAZY.

What's it?

Avoid the temptation of using "I" when bidding for jobs...

No one gives a hut about you out there.

Valwezzy:
Nice one.

Care to share your niche?

Graphic design or so. I know her on the Fiverr thread

Meklex:
I started when I was serving. I go to my PPA every day.

I now run a brick and mortar business which I run every day.

My point is, if it's important to you to you, you will automatically create time for it —at least that's what I do.

Afterthought: in Venzal's last video, he told a client he can't do more than 7 emails in a week. Find out what works for you; increase your turnaround time, create a framework for the email you are writing so it will be easier. Lastly, you can outsource. Whenever I get more than 6 to 10 emails in queue, I outsource.

An eye opener I must say. Thanks for your contribution.

SuleimanKano:
It simple

Well, the ball is in everyone's court....

Weigh the advantages and disadvantages...

You have your answers.

But for me, "I Follow the money"

I hope this helps.

Cheers.....

Bro you'll do well in copywriting from your writing style.You dey try

Meklex:
While I wait for venzal to reply, here's what I do before/after a client places an order —I ask for 3 things:

1. Website/competitors website

2. Target audience

3. Email objectives.

These 3 things are all I need to write an email. Also, you need to ask for any additional information from your client such as his ideas, major pain points etc.

My research process is the only tedious part. I will visit clients' website, then visit the competitors website and other related websites.

Then I always use this keyword on Google; "why you need to use 'client's product' ". With this keyword you will get lots of information on Google about the clients' product/service.

Then, I normally write my emails following this blueprint; Problem, Solution, CTA.

I always employ TACT while writing especially the first paragraph. In fact, the first paragraph is the most important part of any email I am writing because it sets the course for the rest of the email; and if you get it wrong, chances are you will get the rest of the copy wrong.

MODIFIED

Let's go back to TACT. If you understand this, you have understood almost enough to write email copies your clients will love.

Here's the truth; everything that can be said has already been said. There's nothing new under the sun, so there's literally nothing new you can say in an email.

However, you have an ALMOST unlimited power on HOW to say it —and that's where tact comes in. Always wear your target audience's shoe; find the most common problem they face and dramatize it. It always gets their attention.

To give a face to what I just said, here's an email I wrote for a client who wants to sell email lists of recording artistes, studios, etc to music producers.

There are infinite ways to say this same thing - find the most engaging way to say it

Nice one

I have a question; for some of us that have a full-time job somewhere, how are we going to cope when the order starts coming.

Any suggestion?

WordsWriter:
I see so many people on this thread becoming millionaires before December.

Thank you Venzal and other gurus contributing. God bless and reward you!

Yes, it will I believe. We still have 6 months ahead to call it a wrap for this year.

My advice, there are other platforms you can pitch to get your clients outside Upwork

i.e Craigslists, LinkedIn, eBay classified for business etc

Pitch these business owners and sell your benefits to them to hire you.

The key is being creative... Many business owners need YOU!

you can only use the code once.

Thanks bro God bless you.
Doing this asap

Valwezzy:
If there's anything I know, it's never to be M-KITA(Mr know-it-all).

Do you think clients would take you seriously?
The goal is to incorporate skills related to your area of expertise, and for all I know, writing and graphic designing ain't even close.

It would be better if you go for Article writing/content creator for blogs.

PS - my one cent.

Exactly...

Crazeworld:
Hi Cutetz,

Thanks for sharing experience with us. If there is anything to take from it, it's the fact that persistence, determination, and hard work pays.

I have some questions though...

Did you use a Nigerian account, from scratch and till date? This will be a motivation for many of us here.

What is interview? How is it done?

How come you still get enough jobs even without submitting proposals?

Your past clients recommend you to others, who eventually contact you on whatsapp. Do you guys transact outside of Upwork?

Is Upwork cool with freelancers taking clients out of Whatsapp, considering the fact that they won't be getting their 20% commission on future jobs?

During your early days when you were spending money on connects, did you for once think things may eventually not work out?

Do you have a side income outside of Upwork then too?

Thanks.

This question is much bro..make we calm down he go become easier

Crazeworld:
Hope Venzal is okay? Haven't seen him online today.

He is surely. Baba is cooking something

africanman85:
@Venzal, can u make a video on how to piece together your research finding.

It has been stated in page 17 or 18

Lies full this thread

adsmaster:
Am really stunned!

I read through it and I was...

Guess that his style of writing; he uses lots of vocabularies.

For me "k.I.S.S" is my forte!

But, what can I say- we all have different writing style.

Regards

PS.. K.I.S.S means keep is stupidly simple.

PSS... Big thanks to victor aka venzal you are really doing a dame good job!

In writing generally, one only need to use simple English, in other not to confuse the audience.

K.I.S.S is a good idea

SuleimanKano:
Good to have you here as well sir.

Mr Venzal doing some covert operations down here on how we can put mucho dineros in our hot little hand...


I trust you'd book your space on new world opening.

Spectators over here opined it the new Whacky Crazy Way To Gain 1k Dollars monthly.

In this world ravaging with "You Know Who" So take your time to participate in the surveillance.

Some cops gave some insight on how can unravel the bad guys (Green bag).

Great Advice I Got from a number of established superiors.

Make sure you check every nook and cranny of the neighbourhood to get your own mucho dineros.

Ready?

OK then, let’s boogie....

Cheers..

Dis one na commando sales copy

@Venzal and Venzal1

I feel like asking for your account number to willingly say thank you...

You're SELFLESS!

As a writer myself, these are what I've been struggling with for 2 over years in my career as a freelancer.

I mean, you gave out what some greedy Nigerian folks charges upto SIX Figures for. And tagged it "inner caucus student" lol

Just know...

You'll never experience lack, drought, dry season or any of them financially

You shall be elevated beyond your expectations

I pray.


INFORMATION is power


Use it wisely, Nigeria isn't getting better soon.

Venzal1:
This week you are going to be swimming in a pool of resources.

Let’s kick things off with this:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eGaPnk3uhdwV_-j-TO2Nt-Ixw-ZhLvw9bqnoIB1wv6Y/edit?usp=sharing

I am letting you keep those 50 emails I wrote for a client about 3 years ago.

I am sharing them with you because they have long been deployed by the client and are no more his property.

So, study them. Use them as you wish.

For example, one of the things that you can do is re-write them in your own words and start to show clients as one of your sample email series.

You are welcome. Expect more.

P.S. Spread the love…

If you know of anyone for whom this thread would be beneficial, drag them here. We are about to hit the roof!

P.P.S. I know I have a backlog of questions to treat...

Kindly bear with me. I am working on getting my main account released from NL jail. Once that happens, I will treat every question on my mentions.

Thanks for the update
